What Earn ? He said the absolute fact. They can give supreme sacrifice for the sake of our freedom and safety. Don't criticize them, thats called anti national. Be respectful and show ur gratitude.

I did criticize that statement and i still maintain that "20 people will die for me" is not the right attitude. Why should you expect someone die for you? I find it an arrogant statement from officer. The right attitude is "i will die for my family". I'm sure I am singing a solo here..

He was saying what he can achieve, not necessarily what he wants to achieve

I see your point Kartik. May be you are right. Still I don't like the statement itself. That's not an achievement in my opinion. Two reasons. I find it an arrogant statement. 2nd no one dies for anyone and a 21 years old officer should know this basic fact of life.

Agarwal hain to aise hi sochega. After all, what can you expect from a Marwari? Ever seen any Gujju or a Marwari serving in an army? Ever heard of Lieutenant General Agarwal or Rear Admiral Jignes Shah? What do they know about dying for one's country? They are ready to die only if Sensex plunges.
